Silver Bells vs Fashionable Gray

Where Silver Bells belongs to PPG's range, Fashionable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Fashionable Gray (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Bells (LRV 46), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
